We all know that it will be impossible for Kirk Hammett of Metallica to sign for the thousands of fans at Chiller with the extremely limited time he has available to appear. So the only fair thing to do to give everyone an equal opportunity to meet Kirk is to hold a random lottery drawing via the mail for Kirk's special book signing at October's Chiller Expo!

Kirk Hammett will celebrate the October 1st publication of his book TOO MUCH HORROR BUSINESS with a series of bi-coastal signing appearances. Click the headline above for more details on when and where he is going to be!

Hammett's forthcoming book Too Much Horror Business examines his lifelong passion thoroughly and with as much fervor as he speaks on the subject. The legendary guitarist's understanding of horror is inspiring and thought-provoking as he offers a guided tour of his impressive collection of genre artifacts. He tells the story in captivating fashion, matching the rhythm with which he plays guitar. He remains one of history's best guitarists, and one reason is his diverse knowledge of all art forms - including horror.

For the past three years, Hammett has spent his down time at home and in dressing rooms working on his first book, "Too Much Horror Business", which comes out in October. The title might imply a treatise on his time with Metallica, but the coffee-table tome actually catalogs his collection of horror movie memorabilia.
